Carrier Access Access Navigator Logout Exit, Autoexit CLI Session Timeout, Example set autoexit

CLI Language Reference

Logout (Exit)

Logout (Exit)

When finished with a management session, it is important to log out from the Access Navigator by typing the exit command. Logging out will maintain network security, ensuring that the next user must log in with a valid user name and password.

With Telnet sessions, logging out is especially important. The Access Navigator can support two simultaneous Telnet sessions for remote management. But if users do not terminate their session with the exit command, the session will remain active for 2 hours. If both sessions are active, no users will be able to log on. (The 2 hour time-out is standard for TCP/IP networks and can not be changed.)

Autoexit (CLI Session Timeout)

This command adds a settable timeout that can be enabled or disabled for each supported CLI session. The Access Navigator can have up to three active CLI sessions at the same time, one via RS-232 and two via Telnet. When enabled, the CLI session will automatically expire if there is no user activity during the specified time period. This feature enhances system security by ensuring that the session will be closed if the user forgets to log off. To disable the feature and prevent a timeout from occurring, enter zero as the time.

Syntax: set autoexit <minutes>

Field	Description
